Yes, I saw that. I was confused by the fact that it *asks* for a network name. But now I see that if I select the last entry 'create new network' (or similar) it *does* scan for visible ACs. >> * easy to find possibility to change keyboard layout for non English users > > I think this is a boot option for the live image, but I haven't tested > it. Something like appending "keyb=de locale=de_DE.UTF-8" at boot time. The 'keyb=de' is working. With the locale I had no luck. But I think you said on irc that locales are not installed on that image yet. Well I don't care about the locales, it's the keyboard layout that I need. > This should be made clear in a help screen at the boot prompt and then > shown again in a start page included in the image that is shown when > the web browser is autostarted in case the user missed it at the boot > prompt. Yes, it's the 'easy to find' part that is essential on a live image. I do know how I can change my console keymap, but the average live image user might not (well he might not use the text console either ;). > I think this causes the appropriate locale to be generated at boot time > as well, which is why it needs to happen there and not after you've > booted (as the X session needs to be started with the locale already > created and ready to use). I did not test this part yet.
